Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate Updates Timetable on Acquisition of ProGas, Inc.
Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate (Pink Sheets:PBLS) updated its shareholders today regarding its previously announced intent to acquire Covington, Louisiana based ProGas, Inc. The closing date for the transaction, which was originally scheduled for the week of November 30, 2005, has been revised to close by mid-December.
Paul Alonzo, CEO of Phoenix stated, "The deal is done in principle. We have already begun the integration of ProGas into our overall operations, however there was a delay, do in large part to the Thanksgiving Holiday and legal review of the closing documents, that prevented us from 'officially' closing the transaction this week. Irrespective, we should have the deal closed shortly and we are already reviewing other compelling candidates for acquisitive growth."
